IMPROVBD DRAlERY-HOOK.

dlp Srlgehnl muren in it tlps Qttittts gntnrt mit milking putt nf 11psmut To ALL wHoM 1T Mar -ooNonnNz Be it known that I, EDWIN OAnnrNGToN,of West Meriden, in the county of New Haven, and State of Conf neeticut,have invented a new improvement in Drapery-Hook; and I do hereby declarethe following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, andexact description ofthe same, and which said drawings constitute part ofthis specification. and represent in v K Figures 1 and 2, theapplication ofthe hook.

. Figure 3, -a side view.

Figure 4, a. front view ofthe hook, illustrating its operation.

Figures 5 and 6, single hooks.

Figures 7 and 8, double hooks; and in Figures 9 and 10, the eye forattaching the hook.

.This in rention relates to an iinprorement in hooks for hangingdrapery, such as window-curtains, SLC, and consists inthe peculiarconstruction of the hook, whereby the drapery may be securely attachedand not accidentally detached.

In-order to the clear understanding of my improvement., I will proceedto describe the same as illustrated 1n the accompanying drawings.

A, figs. 3 and'4, is the base of the hook, secured to the window, orwherever it is desired to attach drapery, by a screw, B,.or otherequivalent means. The hook is formed hy a perforation through, as at a,and th en slit ting outward, as at d; the slot being of less width' thanthe diameter of the perforation. In figs. 3 and 4 the hook isrepresented as. large, for window-curtains and similar drapery, and tothe curtain are fixed eyes C, their upper edge formed suHici-ently thinto pass through, th'efslot into the perforation, being inserted in ,theposition denoted in red, fig. 3, and when they have passedon to theperforation or enlarged opening are turned down, as denoted in black.The eye cannot be removed until turned up to thc position denoted inred, which position cannot be accidentally attained.

For curtains it is generally necessary that a double hook be used, suchas is shown in figs. 3 and 4, and

Ysmaller in figs. 7 and 8; but for some purposes a single hook, as showninV figs@ and 6, may be all that is required. Those shownin gs. 5, 6, 7,and 8, are adapted to the use of the common dress eye for attachment tothe hooks. P Having thusy fully described myinvention, whatI ela-im asnew and useful, and desire to secure by Letters atent, is

The herein-described drapery-hook, formed hy'an upward-inclined slot, d,opening into a recess, a, in the metal, of larger diameter than thewidth of the slot, and' formed upon a base so as to be secured,substantially as specified. i i
